About the book:

Lesia Ukrainka's complex and deeply dramatic relations with Christianity, which form the core of her mature work, have never been the subject of professional theological analysis. Moscow's synodal censorship banned the writer's works "for atheism," the Soviet communists praised them "for atheism" and at the same time did not allow them on stage.

Therefore, the meaning of the fierce "religious war" waged by the heroes of Lesia Ukrainka and by herself with the official Church remained closed to the reader until today, when the Primate of the UGCC Sviatoslav Shevchuk and writer Oksana Zabuzhko met to exchange views on Lesia Ukrainka's works devoted to the Evangelical and early Christian history. The proposed publication contains recordings of four such conversations, as well as analyzed texts by Lesia Ukrainka in the author's edition.

The book is expected to be published after June 30.
